Welcome to Stately Homes

York’s 'country house and garden', this imposing Georgian mansion was built in 1716 and contains one of the most impressive baroque interiors in England. Exceptional wood carving, an unusual central corridor running the full length of the house and over 100 pictures on loan from the National Portrait Gallery can be found inside. There is also a fully equipped Victorian laundry, delightful walled garden and some interesting sculptures in wood.

Note: Most rooms have no electric light. Visitors wishing to make a close study of the interior and portraits should avoid dull days early and late in the season
